WHAT THEY SAY


'A third of all savings will come out of improved design, with 90% of these coming in the early design phase. The closer you are to letting the contract, the harder it is to achieve these savings.' - Peter Rogers, director, Stanhope Properties.



'There is a 15% saving immediately available to clients who get their act together and do a project strategy, and there is a further 15% to be gained from improved attention to better buildability.' - Frank Griffiths, cost procurement consultant.



'Improved design in structures can offer a 5% saving and in many design and build schemes you can save 10%.' - Tom Barton, southern director, Mowlem Construction
